It was released on 10 October 1988 through record label Beggars Banquet. The album's release came at the end of a relatively successful year for the group, which had also seen the release of an \"accessible\" album, \u003ci\u003eThe Frenz Experiment\u003c\/i\u003e, and a handful of singles in the UK charts. However there was internal strife within the band; Smith was increasingly dependent on alcohol and speed, and his marriage to Fall lead guitarist, song writer and vocalist Brix Smith was coming to an end. Although she wrote many of the most acclaimed songs on the album, including \u003ci\u003eOverture From Kurious Oranj, Van Plague?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBad News Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, she was excluded from the writing and publishing credits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsidered one of the Fall's strongest, if not most cohesive, albums, \u003ci\u003eI Am Kurious Oranj\u003c\/i\u003e was intended as the soundtrack for the ballet \u003ci\u003eI Am Curious, Orange\u003c\/i\u003e, a collaboration with the dancer Michael Clark. The music was mostly pre-written by Brix Smith and bassist Steve Hanley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis album is a live version, recorded during an Edinburgh Festival performance of the ballet, and issued in 2000. It is generally considered to be a meatier and more incisive version than its studio counterpart, and is highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cog Sinister","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50448988438859,"sku":"1105801","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ee71212b-0082-436d-8716-db54a1fc5e04_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727098185","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/i-am-as-pure-as-oranj","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
